Got the Iran deal instead!

1. We seemed to have reached some kind of an impasse.

More like a roadblock. That too for Chinese hydrocarbons.

2. What was with these Iran deals? The more the merrier, they never ceased to amaze.

Well, you've got to keep in mind the severe stress the US Congress had faced since 2019-2020. The westerners didn't take to 'namaste', they greeted with their 'elbows'. As messaging meant for Habermasian intelligence in easy-to-digest format, Washington DC couldn't get more explicit.

3. What was the excuse this time around?

All existing shops had information aplenty on traders/businessmen who manufactured electrical appliances in Kolkata. 

4. And what was keeping Antara in contention for food and shelter?

Well, BT's House was ruined by the One Story, Antara still hadn't used her House, and if the last few years were what was left of AT's House, what kind of global networks did it maintain?

5. Why was it hyper these last few years, because of the Ukraine War?

No, the global networks of AT's House were offended by 'Occupy Wall Street' (2011). 

Back at HT, Antara used to slot the 'Occupy Wall Street' stories in the anchor slot, so the US Navy was not taken aback when the Military Sealift episode was suggested.

When it came to the protesters and their Venetian masks, AT's House networks saw nothing but Berlusconi and you could see where it had led. 

China was imploring for the Naz... anecdotes from Brabourne, it got the Iran deal instead.

6. No!! Why?

Antara's blog had discussed the preparatory Islamabad talks that (hopefully) led to the Iran deal, it had mentioned China using the 'upper-strata', the latter would probably claim that someone else was using the 'upper-strata' in its same.

7. And it was about a batchmate, a contemporary.

Yes, that was not the problem, she was under pressure, a Muslim female from Assam. 

Her last night at the hostel, the superintendent had put a team of girls on her, sort of a 'suicide watch', the situation got complicated from there.

Antara was close to her but didn't meet her/go to her room that night, 'upper-strata', real and fake, couldn't collide like that.

8. What ignorant and prejudiced behaviour could lead to! What did you suggest?

Antara suggested the same thing she'd suggested the last several years. 

Treat the blog as a learning module.  Learn about the world it represented.

Keeping in mind the sibling and hostel anecdotes, Antara requested fresh work on the withdrawal of security clearance for J Robert Oppenheimer.
